​​ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Officials say a lockdown at Rochester General Hospital and a stay-in-place order in an East Rochester neighborhood are now under control thanks to a multi-jurisdictional police agency and civilian response.

“This is kind of a complicated incident," said Monroe County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Michael Fowler.

Authorities say apparent threats were made against Rochester General Hospital, naming specific people during a livestream on social media in the middle of the night.

Police say a booby-trapped house was located in East Rochester with a gun aimed at the front door with a trip wire.

“The FBI alerted the Rochester Police Department of a live-streamed video of a suicidal male in the Rochester area,” Rochester Police Department Lt. Greg Bello said. “The information at the time was indicative of a possible threat to Rochester General Hospital.”

The RPD contacted the hospital and increased its presence at the hospital as RGH went into lockdown. While patient care was not interrupted, some arriving patients were diverted elsewhere. 

“The team members and employees here at Rochester General Hospital took many quick actions, thinking quickly to ensure that they and their patients were safe," said Rochester Regional Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Robert Mayo.

Authorities used their technology and skills to immediately examine the livestream video.

“Working through our law enforcement partners we were able to identify the male in the video and his location at a residence in East Rochester," said Bello.

“A call from the Rochester Police Department, as part of their investigation, led us here," said East Rochester Police Department Sgt. Noah Fast.

The East Rochester Police Department and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office were on the scene with suspicions that someone inside was dead and entry to the DePaul Drive home could be dangerous. The drone team was brought in to assist the bomb squad and its commander.

“His team did find a hazardous situation inside the home,” Fowler said. “It appears to be a tripwire device attached to a firearm and aimed at the front door. The bomb squad commander identified that through the use of our drone technology and through the use of the robot and then confirming it with a bomb squad technician from the sheriff's office actually entering the location safely and confirming that the device was there.”

The sole occupant and the resident of the house was found dead. Authorities are trying to learn more about him.

“We've never actually had contact with him,” Fast said. “We've had a couple of calls regarding him, but never actually have been able to make contact in the past.”

“There appear to be multiple grievances and we'll investigate that and cooperate with the federal agencies that are taking the lead on that piece also," said Fowler.

DePaul Drive in East Rochester is now reopened to traffic and the shelter in place for the neighborhood lifted.

The lockdown at Rochester General Hospital also lifted.

“This incident is a prime example of bringing together our law enforcement and civilian partners and identifying a potential threat and then responding accordingly," said Bello.

And on this day the first on-the-scene police officers are likely feeling especially thankful for their law enforcement agency partners.

“We're just thankful that that information was able to come out before we actually tried to make entry into the residence," said Fast.
